Rain Relief
Heavy showers have deposited up to 40 millimetres of rain in parts of the Gold Coast during the past 24 hours, but falls have been significantly smaller around the Hinze Dam.
Senior weather forecaster Gavin Holcombe says the wet weather is likely to continue for the rest of the week.
"Biggera Creek's had 40 millimetres, Monterey Keys has had 40mm, the air sea rescue station's had 34mm, but once you go inland a bit further falls are nowhere near as high - Mount Nimmel's only had 11mm, Little Nerang Dam's only had 8mm.
So you can see there hasn't been a great deal around as you go further inland," he said. Hinze Dam was about 75 per cent full yesterday and the city's water consumption was about five million litres above the daily target of 190 mega-litres
